No Place for Magic

As usual, cute fluff. Emma and Eadric do begin to be a little more solid - I think they're both stupid several times in this book, but I can see why the persons they are might do those things (not just author fiat). I think her spell on Bradston was unwise, and is going to come back to bite her if she does admit to it (or even if she doesn't), but again, I can see why she did it. And a happy ever after (yeah, right) - for quite a few people.

Last one in the Frog Princess series (so far, though I think there might be a prequel coming out). Emma and Eadric are finally getting married. But it turns out that magic is not really welcome in Eadric's kingdom, so both Emma and her future subjects have a lot of work to do to come to an understanding. Also Eadric's nasty little brother gets kidnapped by trolls and they have to rescue him.

This is probably one of the best ones so far, because finally all the elements have come together. However, I think Baker could probably continue to write untold number of adventures with Emma, Eadric, and company. Or even lots of backstories ;-p

Tales of the Frog Princess, book 4.

Emma and Eadric are ready to get married, but first they have to get his parents' approval. Eadric's mother does not approve of magic. She hates it so much that she won't even allow Emma to help rescue her younger son, Bardston, who has been kidnapped by trolls. THis is probably the weakest link in the series, but it was still funny enough to keep me reading. I just love Emma. She is a great character.

This book is the fourth installment of the Frog Princess Series. It starts with Princess Emeralda (Emma) who also happens to be the Green Witch, the most powerful witch in the kingdom of Greater Greensward. She is attacking vines that grew out of control when a butterfly comes up to her. She does a quick hearing spell te better understand the creature and it tells her that her grandmother, recently turned from the family curse, needs her to come decorate her gingerbread house in the withces retirement community. Emma goes with her mother and Eadric her bethrothed, that is if Emma can ever get Eadric's parent's blessing. They don't approve of Emma being a witch. The workers are right in the middle of repairing the frosting roof when show more another message comes for Emma. She needs to go to the swamp to meet her aunt and Haywood who are getting married. Emma's mother disapproves, she thinks it should be fancier and definetly not in a swamp. But Emma thinks it's sweet.

After this, Emma and Eadric plan to travel to Eadric's kingdom to get his parent's blessing. Before they can leave, though, Emma's mother catches her and makes her go with a full escort. After three days they make it to the castle only to be greeted by wailing and despair. Eadric's younger Bradston was kidnapped by trolls. Eadric goes to rescue him and Emma insists to go along. They camp near a stream and Emma is awoken by sounds of trolls. She hasn't undid her hearing spell for the butterfly messenger so she has very acute hearing. Emma uses her magic powers to wash away some trolls and scare off the rest. They travel to the trolls cave, meeting a banshee, and narrowly escaping death a number of times.

When Eadric and finally make it to the cave, they are surprised to find no guards. Not even outside the queen's chamber. All of the trolls were affected by troll pox a worse version of human chicken pox. They outsmart the queen and take away Bradston. Emma and Eadric have their wedding and are happily enjoying each other's company when the trolls attached. Emma, Eadric, and their wedding guests drive the trolls away. Emma finally convinces the troll queen to go away when they tell her their is another prince she can marry, Prince Jorge, a prince Emma rejected and battled away from her kingdom. So everything ends happily for the newly weds.

I liked this book. While it is a series for younger children, it was interesting and had traits that teen books carry. I liked the suspense and romance. Also the comedy. This book would be enjoyed by people of all ages young or old. I am looking forward to the next book. I also hope there will be another series. show less

Just a bit too much of a focus on the serial adventure for my taste. This is the last book of the series, as far as I can tell, to focus on Emma and Eadric. I did like the banshee. Little bits like that set these books apart from the wannabees. The next is prequel, about Grassina & Chartreuse as teens.

This book is the last in the Frog Princess series and it is based around Emma and Eadric getting married. There was a worry that magic would not be ok in Eadric's Kingdom because his mother dos not approve of it and Emma works hard to find a common ground in this new union. They end up needing to rescue Eadric's spoiled little brother from trolls and this adds more adventure to the story.

The book is ok, it gives good examples of compromise and accepting differences, which is a struggle in today's world with children and adults.

The students can really give their input on this story and how things could change. How they can accept the differences in others and they can name their differences.

Out of all the books in this series, this is the best out of all of them. In this book, Emma, who is a princess and a green witch, travels with Eadric to Eacdric's kingdom to ask for their parent's blessing in marriage. But there, the people aren't very comfortable with magic. So when Emma goes to Eadric's kingdom, whe has to try to find ways to not use magic. This story is just as twisted as the other ones in the series. But before reading this book, I suggest you that you read the first few books before actually reading this one.
